Abstract
Abstract The analysis of Group Distribution Header (GDH) blockage events shows that the integrity of several fuel channels could be violated. A best estimate analysis of GDH blockage events in the RBMK-1500 reactor (Large Channel Type Water-cooled Graphite-moderated Reactor) of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant is performed. Uncertainties of the initial and boundary conditions as well as ATHLET code models were taken into account during the simulation. The analysis is performed employing the code ATHLET Mod. 1.2 Cycle D and the package SUSA 3.5. In this paper the ATHLET code model of Ignalina NPP, event scenarios and results of the analysis are presented. Analysis results show that GDH blockage events do not lead to severe consequences.
